Here is my first Sesame Street sketch rewrite, this time, it's a Grover and Mr Johnson sketch where Grover is a taxi driver. Enjoy and comment.
One sunny day, Mr Johnson wanted to take a taxi.
He soon found a cab.
"Oh, taxi!" he cried. "Taxi!"
Mr Johnson soon got into the cab.
"Hello sir, and welcome to Grover's Taxi!"
Mr Johnson turned around, and soon noticed his usual waiter, driving the taxi.
"Oh no!" he cried. "You again?"
"Yes." said Grover, "it is I, your furry blue taxi driver. Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to the library." said Mr Johnson.
"A wonderful choice sir!" replied Grover. "The library is a wonderful place, with books to read, and wonderful music like "The Sound of Music"
"I know that! Let's go!"
"You can also take home books from the library too, if you return them on time."
"I know that! That's why I'm going there!"
"Or, you can go to the zoo." suggested Grover.
"I don't want to go to the zoo!" said Mr Johnson angrily.
"But there are lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!"
"I don't want to see lions, and tigers, and bears! I want to go to the library!"
"I'm only trying to suggest things to you sir!" said Grover. "Now, how 'bout the museum?"
"I don't want to go to the museum!"
"They have all sorts of new exhibits there"
"I don't want to see any new exhibits! I want to go to the library!"
Then, a loud noise came from outside.
"Hey, watch it Harry!" boomed Grover.
Then, Grover turned back to Mr Johnson.
"May I suggest a nice movie sir? Like "The Sound of Music"?
Now Mr Johnson had lost it.
"I don't want to go to the movies! I don't want to go to the museum! I don't want to go to the zoo! I WANT YOU TO DRIVE ME TO THE LIBRARY! NOW! STEP ON IT!
"Gladly sir!" said Grover.
Mr Johnson was relived.
"If you do not mind waiting."
"Waiting? For what?"
"My cab is broken!"
Mr Johnson was angrier than ever.
"I can't wait 'till your car is fixed! I'M IN A HURRY!"
"Okay sir." said Grover as he sticked his head out the window.
"Hey Harry, forget the garage! First go to the library!"
Then Grover said…
"We'll be there in four hours flat!"
"But I'm in a hurry!" cried Mr Johnson.
"Oh, in that case I should call you a taxi! Taxi! Taxi! Library job here!"
